    Has anybody in here rode or owned a Yamaha Bolt? There's a pretty nice looking one at a local dealer and the price is pretty tempting. Just seeing if anybody has any opinions on them!

    I sat on one. The seat was too low for me. I felt cramped (5' 10", 32" inseam). They do look nice though.

    I'm about the same same size as kmoe. I felt like it needed forward controls. I haven't ridden one. They look quite nice though.

    I test rode them last year and this year, both the standard and the r-spec but not the new c-spec(not into cafe style). I like them alot and the plan is to get one next year... I wish they had gone with a parallel 4 but v-twin is quite torquy and suits my riding style, I'm in no way a speed freak... for 2017 they have a scrambler edition that I can't wait to try. I have yet to try a raider because they never have one on the power tour.
